Plan Description


Serenissima Gravel is flat racing on the white roads of the Veneto — professionals and amateurs, same course, same October day.


The route is redrawn each year, but the character holds: narrow gravel sectors, flat farm roads in close quarters, outside support kept to a minimum, and no climbs to break the pace. This is a six-week plan for the weeks you have left, not the training that didn’t happen. Six weeks isn’t enough to build endurance from scratch, and this plan doesn’t claim to; it sharpens what you already have — steady pacing, honest fueling, and enough riding at race effort that a flat, fast day in close company feels familiar.


~47 MI  ·  N/A FT CLIMBING  ·  FLAT, NARROW VENETO GRAVEL  ·  6 WEEKS  ·  5–9 HR/WK  ·  SAVE MY RACE

WHAT'S INSIDE



  • Triage — the highest-value work for the time left, on real graphs, not PDFs

  • Strength kept to what helps, not what fills time, with video demos

  • Notes on pacing a flat race within yourself + the Gravel Grit program

  • A testing week so the work fits the fitness you have now

  • The full Serenissima Gravel guide — pacing, fueling, gearing, so smart riding covers what training couldn’t


WHAT YOU'LL GET


The best salvaged version of your race — finishing with something left.


For the rider who’s out of runway but not out of the race. · plans@gravelgodcoaching.com

Gravel God Cycling Coaching

Hey, I'm Matti. I spent 11 years at TrainingPeaks, where they trusted me to teach coaches how to coach at TrainingPeaks University. I raced Amateur Elite with Rio Grande Cycling Team and podiumed my age group at Unbound 200 in 2026. I have a degree in biology and exercise physiology from St. Olaf. I'm also a middle-aged dad of three, so I know training doesn't happen in a vacuum. I help gravel riders get stupidly fast without becoming the person who brings a food scale to a party
